My animal rescue team and I were in Livingston, LA for several weeks assisting with the flooding. We stayed one night in this amazing house, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. She even left us a bag of donations for the animal flood victims. The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly decorated. I can't say enough about how positive our experience was. Highly, highly recommended. Thanks for everything, Katie!!

AmberSeptember 2016

Very nice, serene place. I would recommend anyone stay just to experience home and farm, even if you don't have business in this town. 1 hr from NOLA is huge bonus!!! Thank you maam for another great AIRBNB experience.

TolsonFebruary 2016

I would have to agree with all the other reviews. Can't say enough about this property. The house is beautiful and the grounds are very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone that is in the area.

TimSeptember 2016

My family and I loved staying at Acosta Pines. It was everything as advertised and more! Katie went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and gave us a great tour of her family's ranch. The house was absolutely beautiful and gave us a very comfortable and relaxing place to come home to at the end of the day. We absolutely recommend Acosta Pines and would definitely stay here again.

AndrewOctober 2016

We had so much fun at Bethany's place. It was fabulous, far exceeding the photos and our expectations. The house was darling and it was so peaceful to look out over acres of green. At night there was a symphony of nature...crickets and bullfrogs galore. Katie was very accommodating and couldn't be nicer. When you think of Southern Hospitality, this is what they're talking about. We highly recommend!!

BrendaJune 2016

We stayed at Acosta Pines for 7 days with our three little children (4 years and 11 months) - we were on a long trip through the US from Europe and were looking for somewhere to relax for 7 days and where the kids could just be outside and enjoy themselves...we could have not found a more suitable place. The house is amazing - it is beautiful and lovingly furnished, the beds are super comfortable, very clean and it has all the amenities described, the pictures do not do it justice ! It has a gas bbq under the porch and a small lake with fish close by...there is also a fire place in the back garden...the garden is huge and as the house is the last house on a small gravel road we could let the kids run and play without any (URL HIDDEN) the back of the garden you could see the horses and donkeys from Katie`s farm and we even got the occasional visit from a peacock and squirrels in the garden...Katie was a wonderful host, living just a few hundred metres down the road she was always available and responded quick to any questions...she even showed our little one around her farm....I cannot recommend this place highly enough, we did not want to (URL HIDDEN) is just over an hour from New Orleans, there is a supermarket and pharmacy in the next village (either Loranger or Roberts, both about 8 minutes drive in the car) and there are also a few takeaway places..and if you visit with children you must not miss the Global Wildlife centre (10 minutes away) -we had a great time there too.

KristinJuly 2016

The house was just what we needed. It was quiet and large enough so that everyone had their own room and could sleep! The house is beautifully decorated and made us feel like we were at home and very comfortable. My kids loved being able to run around outside and see the animals. I would highly recommend this home for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

JenniferJuly 2016

This place was really great. The environment is beautiful, and the house itself is even more impressive. very spacious and luxurious. very well decorated. And Katie proved to be very helpful and pro-active in helping us with the right route information to get their. is was an absolute top experience!

My place is centralized less than 1 hour from New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Mandeville. It is a quite getaway for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets). It is located just blocks from Southeastern Louisiana University. It is great for Southeastern football and other sporting events. Also for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Strawberry Festival and other South Louisiana events.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Karen

Great location! We had a great trip.

JenniferOctober 2016

Townhouse is very neatly kept and is in close proximity to SELU campus and downtown Hammond. Owner made contact a couple times to ensure everything was in order and to offer any help if I needed it. Will definitely stay here next time.

BrandonOctober 2016

Everything was perfect. It was located in the middle of everything and easy to get into.

RobynOctober 2016

A great stay. The host was accessible and helpful when we needed to communicate. Would stay here again, if we're in the area.

WilliamNovember 2016

Great location, nice and quite complex. We had 7 people stay and had plenty of room and was very clean. Krekel was very nice and helpful he checked in with us daily and even recommended a couple of restaurants. Would stay here again if we are in Hammond.

KarenJuly 2016

We got a late start to our trip from the East Coast and our host was very accommodating to our late arrival. The town house was very nice and clean. It accommodated the three of us very well. We commute to New Orleans daily and it was nice to be able to get out of the big city and do a smaller town and not have to deal with all the craziness. The location of the townhouse is very convenient and our host is very knowledgeable with restaurants and things to do in New Orleans and in the local area. This is my first Airbnb stay and have always been very cautious about buying things that I have not yet seen in person. It couldn't have gone any better. What a fantastic trip! I hope to stay what this host again in the future if I ever come in this area again.

Enjoy the town of Folsom, known for polo farms and it's nurseries! You'll be within walking distance of a great local coffee shop and local restaurants and bars, while still being on a quiet residential street. My cottage is only an hours drive from New Orleans as well as Baton Rouge and only 15-20 minutes from Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Hammond, and Franklinton. My place is a quaint cottage good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and furry friends (pets).

Adorable home- within great distance to the global wildlife center!

MichelleSeptember 2016

Virginia has a great place for a base in Louisiana. We had a wedding to go to and family to meet and this was perfect

MarkOctober 2016

Virginia's place is so quaint and well maintained, it felt like home right away. Not just that, she was so responsive, flexible, and amazing to us. She had all the beds made and ready and fit our larger group in because of the nature of our trip (disaster relief mission). She most definitely went over and beyond for us. Her fee is incredibly fair and she was so pleasant throughout the entire process, even when we accidentally dirtied her couch. :( The location is also pretty good with late night convenience stores and bars open within walking distance. Couldn't have asked for a better hostess, place, and experience. Highly recommend Virginia's Folsom Cottage!! Thanks again for making us feel at home away from home :)

KatieSeptember 2016

A very excellent house and the owner Virginia was immediate and courteous and very helpful with questions that came up. Easily one of the best Air BnB I have experienced. I would come back when I next visit

RobertOctober 2016

Virginia's house was a very nice place to stay. She was very cooperative, and non-intrusive. And the coffee shop she suggested was outstanding.

JustinAugust 2016

The house was just what it needed to be. Clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing. Virginia was an exceptional host, communicated very well and was well informed and thorough on her recommendations in the North Shore.

JasonSeptember 2016

We had a great time here! It was such a cute little place, loved it!

LilySeptember 2016

Virginia was great to work with. She made everything easy on us, and communicated quickly and clearly. The cottage was exactly what we needed, and we enjoyed our weekend away immensely.

My home is very eclectically decorated. Vintage and antique furnishings throughout ! Outdoor hot/cold shower w/privacy shutters around it. Screened back porch w/ serene view and ceiling fans. Antique sink on porch. Good prep spot for cookouts and good place for canning or making jelly !! Upstairs and down for privacy. Deck 3/4 around house. Wheelchair would have easy access ! Well water and very pure for drinking ! Horses surround the area. Wild animals seen often!
The whole house and ten acres. There is poison ivy in the woods !! And on some pines so beware if the woods is calling you to explore ! My neighbors with horses are friendly and I can set up barn visits. Louisiana racing horses bred at my one neighbors ! Can watch them be exercised/trained. Visit the barn cats!
If one to two people rent for one night the downstairs would be your domain. I most likely would stay up unless you do a weekend rental. Then I would stay elsewhere. I am very friendly and chatty if you prefer or just keep to myself upstairs or being out and about. Guests privacy priority !

3/4 mile off two lane road. I was the first to buy and develop. There are hundreds of empty acres and horses around as you come back to the gates ! Quiet. Serene. Very little bugs and safe area in general. Outdoor hot and cold shower ! I would expect guests to honor a towel coverage after bathing when entering back into house. Or just say (if I was there) you want a couple of private hours !
No public transit. Rural location. Taxi would come from a distance and that would have to be looked into !
Small towns. Lose by with restaurants that have great food. Granny's Restaurant 1 mile away (special hours) and a convenient store with gas !

50 minute drive to New Orleans. Mobile home in private, quiet area. Perfect for visiting family or a cheap alternative for NOLA visits. It certainly isn't the Ritz, but it is clean and affordable. No eye candy here. Safe, clean, roomy and affordable.

This is a mobile home. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms available for your use. I use one small bedroom for storage. It does not have high end finishes, and is nothing fancy. There are a few junk cars on the property.
But, I keep the interior and the outside use areas immaculate. I am a clean fanatic and I do all the cleaning myself.
There are window units for air and heat. Dishwasher, stove, fridge, kitchen table, fresh linens, washer and dryer, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, pots and pans, and toiletries. Also cable TV.
There is a queen bed in the master bedroom, a full and a twin in the 2nd bedroom. Also there is queen air mattress and pump in the master closet for use in the living room.
Small, locked bedroom is off limits.
Also other buildings and cars/boats on the property.
I will try to be there to meet you upon arrival. Other than that, it's all yours. Call me with any questions during your stay. If there is a need for me to come to the property, I will.

A french country home tucked in a wooded sanctuary overlooking a quiet pond. Beautiful views, abundant wildlife. Large country kitchen, dining room with fireplace, three bedrooms (with separate baths). Located a short distance from New Orleans.

3 bedrooms (with 3 baths). These rooms can also be rented separately with prices ranging from 110-160 per night. Each bedroom comfortably fits 2 adults. I have accommodated up to 3 in the largest room. 2 bedrooms have king size beds and 1 bedroom has a queen size bed.
Guests have access to all common areas, kitchen, dining room and living room. When outdoors all can enjoy a large flagstone patio, the pond and the grounds. The only areas that are off limit are other buildings on the property.
I interact as much or little as a guest wants. I greet the guest upon arrival and bring breakfast in the morning. Otherwise I usually only come over to clean, change towels etc. when guests are out of their rooms during the day.

It is close to New Orleans but far enough away to have the peace and tranquility of the country. There is a large flagstone patio that overlooks the pond where you may see deer, blue heron, egrets and even koi. Take long walks, jog, or canoe on the pond. Nearby there is a nature preserve (Global Wildlife), Ponchartrain Vineyard, art shows, antique shopping, farmers markets and various festivals year round. Folsom is known as an equestrian center. We are hosts to nationally recognized shows (hunter-jumper, dressage, etc.). Polo tournaments (local and national) are yours to enjoy every Sunday during polo season across from my property.
There is no public transit because the property is in the country. There is ample parking at the property. The airport is in New Orleans (approximately 50 miles) and guests would need their own transportation.
The house is for the use of registered guests only. If you wish to host an event (ex. reunion, wedding, retreat, etc.) a seperate event fee will be charged. The charge will vary according to the event and/or size of event.

这是一个美不胜收的房间,夜间蛙虫齐鸣,白天湖光碧影。屋子很干净,房东阿姨还给做早餐。

Margot is very friendly and interesting to talk to. She greeted us at the house and showed us around the home and the property. The bedrooms are nice and spacious, especially the bedroom looking out towards the lake. The lake is beautiful with the horses in the background grazing in the field. It is picturesque...very serene and tranquil. The family fished (catch and release) off the pier and enjoyed walks about the property. Our family throughly enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend and look forward to returning again. The Smith/Crawford family~

This was my first experience with Airbnb. I was on a 2 day business trip. There weren't any hotels near by so I search Airbnb and found Margot's country retreat. The room was just as advertised. The house faced a small lake with rolling hills. Horses grazed in the distance. It was very quiet and serene - just the way I like it. This property is located in the heart of Folsom, LA horse country. The drive to the property is very picturesque. Margot was the perfect host - very attentive. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the property.

We are about 40 miles from the New Orleans Airport in a really cool house on the edge of the swamp. This is a small town known for its antiques and quilts, but we are so close to NOLA that many choose to stay here to avoid the craziness of the city.

We are so close to the city I grew up in and love; a city where there is free music almost constantly, and if you know where you are going, you will always be at home.
The bedroom is actually the entire upstairs of our home. There is the main bedroom with the queen bed, a fridge, and other amenities. There is also an office space that has a futon that will comfortably sleep an additional guest (the third) at an additional cost of $10 per night. In the office/extra bedroom, there is a microwave, coffee pot, and snack station, as well as a work station. We have a printer available as well. You also are allowed to use the kitchen downstairs and additional fridge/freezer space if needed. Washer and dryer available as well.
It's up to you. You are welcome to hang out downstairs and watch my mega giant TV (LCD projector/satellite) downstairs. Also an extra half bathroom downstairs in case of an "emergency".

My little neighborhood consists mostly of retired couples. We are in a very small, one street in/out subdivision of about 20 houses, on the edge of Lake Maurepas. Our house is pretty close to the railroad tracks that parallel Hwy 51 all the way from NO to Chicago....and you will hear train whistles (and maybe a little rumbling upstairs) in the night and early morning....we just don't hear it anymore.
No public transit to speak of. We are, however, within walking distance to grocery stores, bars, produce stands, and our quaint downtown.
During the week, I get up pretty early and go. On the weekends I will fix you a nice breakfast, and during the week if I'm able to, I will do the same. If not, I will leave plenty of good stuff for you for breakfast.

Felix was a very nice host! He had everything you could possibly need when staying somewhere. I highly recommend.

HUANMEIAugust 2016

Felix was very welcoming! I think the description of his home was accurate. I was recommended his place by an acquaintance who spent five weeks living in his home and had nothing but kind words to share. There were so many amenities offered, I did not get a chance to use all of them. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of pillows to choose from, and a nice little flatscreen to enjoy before bed. I was a bit of a recluse during my visit but Felix and his visiting family were always friendly and welcoming when I did show my face. The bathroom and shower were so pristine it looked like they had never been used. Many items are labeled for use, such as the remotes, which I loved. You can hear rumbling from the trains but it never bothered me. For those coming to visit NOLA, I'm sure no matter what your tastes, Felix could tell you where to go to have a great experience!

LaureOctober 2015

I had a nursing assignment in Covington,LA for one night, which is a only a 20min drive from here. My boyfriend and I arrived around 10:30 p.m. and Felicia (Felix's daughter) was very welcoming, even though it was a little late. Felix was not home but he made sure that we found our way to the house with no problems via text messages. Felix's has a beautiful home in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The home is very close to the local café and local shops. The room space provided is bigger than described. The bed is super comfortable! It was like sleeping on a cloud. Very clean and has a sophisticated white interior. Good closet space. Room was provided with complimentary red wine (yay! Thank you!!!) and cold beverages from a mini fridge inside the room. There is also a flat screen satellite TV in the room. Across the room is the super clean bathroom with his and her sinks with an assortment of bathroom essentials with clean towels. We had a wonderful stay in Felix's home. We would highly recommend staying in his home if you are visiting the Mandeville, Covington, Panchatoula, and NOLA area.

PergeJune 2016

Felix was an amazing host. We flew into New Orleans late at night and he graciously waited up for us so he could show us our space. Space was bigger than anticipated and perfect for the three of us since there were a double vanity and nice shower. The location was a little less than an hour from New Orleans and gave us the small town feel we were looking for. I enjoyed feeling safe in his neighborhood and being able to drive around town and see a couple cool shops. Felix was would text us throughout our stay making sure we had everything we needed and was a joy to stay with. I would highly recommend this location and would return anytime.

The Downtown Loft is located in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington next to restaurants and dining, nightlife, shopping, the Tammany Trace hiking and biking trail, and many family-friendly activities. You’ll love my over 100 year old home's custom renovated upstairs loft apartment. It is a luxurious retreat located across the street from the Bogue Falaya River hidden among the Spanish moss draped southern live oak trees.

The Downtown Loft Apartment embodies the essence of an open loft-style apartment with cathedral ceilings, wood floors, recessed lighting, half-walls, and a fireplace for those cold winter nights. The bathroom is constructed of slate floors and shower walls with custom antique cabinetry and the kitchen has more custom cabinetry, slate counter tops, and all stainless steel appliances. The unique entry hallway adds seating space and storage areas. All beds and daybed trundles have Tempur-Pedic foam mattress with mattress pads for the ultimate in restful sleep. Both the bedroom and living area have ceiling fans for added circulation and big bright windows that either slide open or hinge open. The Loft also has a full size washer and dryer with all your detergent, softener, and dryer sheet needs. Bathroom has towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner and all beds have linens and pillows. Kitchen has pots, pans, glassware, dinnerware, utensils, dishwasher detergent, gas stove, fridge with ice maker, trash bags, napkins, coffee pot with filters/coffee/sugar/creamer, and a "Louisiana Welcome Basket" of sorts with local snacks and drinks.
Guest parking is in the rear of the house near the Downtown Loft Apartment exterior staircase. The rear driveway is off of "Walker Alley" street which is a one way street that runs perpendicular to Florida Street (the street the house faces).
I will always be a quick text message, phone call, email or even knock on my door downstairs away. I live on the premises and can always help with any assistance needed.

The Downtown Loft Apartment is located in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington directly adjacent to the free Oxlot public parking which is great when you want to host parties in the Loft or are traveling with multiple vehicles and/or trailers. The rear driveway of the Loft will accommodate up to 4-5 vehicles of free off street parking, also.
The Downtown Loft Apartment is a short walk to any downtown Covington activity. You can leave your car parked at the Loft and walk to your favorite restaurant, bar, or boutique. One block South is the Bogue Falaya River to easily launch a kayak, one block North is the Tammany Trace Trail for hiking/biking, one block West is the Columbia Street Landing, and two blocks West is the Bogue Falaya Park and Playground for all your outdoor activities and we are surrounded 360 degrees by restaurants, bars, shopping, salons, and cafes.

Crystal did a great job in creating the cozy atmosphere and was very friendly in letting me call the loft my home. She had a lovely binder with calendar events in town and maps from her home to different restaurants which made it very helpful to see the proximity. I'm excited to book again at the downtown loft. She went above and beyond in accommodating Mojo (my dog) and I. There's nothing she didn't think of for us!

BanessaNovember 2016

Pictures of this place are great but the place is even better in person. Home was extremely clean, Crystal was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating with our late arrival. My only regret is that we arrived late and had to leave early so we didn't get to spend more time there. Overall I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay there!

CodyNovember 2016

Our stay at property was spot on! Crystal our host could not have been more accommodating. The Loft provided everything we needed: walking distance to local / favorite restaurants and amazingly decorated loft with everything addressed inside.

Thank you Cyrstal for making my family and I feel welcome like family!

What an incredible experience! The place was absolutely fantastic, and Crystal made me feel very welcome. Anyone looking for a place in the Covington/north shore area, look no further.

What can I say, Crystal was an awesome host! Although our schedules did not allow much face to face contact, Crystal was always available when I tried to contact her. The Loft is just as nice and comfortable as it looks in the pictures, a full kitchen, two TV's and plenty of room for guests. The neighborhood is just as nice. A short walk to several restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, antique shops, and yes even a bar or two, no need to drink and drive. This is a great place to stay in Covington because of the proximity to everything. But with all the conveniences and comfort of the Loft, it is a great place to consider for visits to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. The price is very reasonable for what you are getting. Better than any hotel at the same price. Upon arrival after meeting Crystal I found complimentary water, beer, cokes, and potato chips, and even a couple of candy bars waiting for me. Also there was coffee, laundry soap, bath soap and just about everything you would need. If you were coming for a week stay all you need is clothes. Crystal is a very nice person, easy to talk to and willing to be a super host. I would definitely reccomend staying here. And if I ever go back to Covington, I will be staying here again!

Crystal had everything ready and so clean for our arrival. She even had coffee fixings, local beer, and print outs of area shopping and dining!

Very nice place, lots of room. i would recommend this to anyone who needs to stay in the Covington area. Marion was very friendly and was responsive to all questions I had about the area. I addition the weather was absolutely fantastic!

MikeApril 2016

Marion was great at accommodating us with our late arrival. The townhouse was really spacious for the 5 of us. Thank you Marion we really enjoyed our time.

AnaMarch 2016

The home: perfect base for places of interest in both New Orleans and Covington. Very peaceful location and well appointed home. The hosts: insightful visitor suggestions and great ambassadors for Airbnb. Made us very welcome and kept discreet contact to check on our expeditions. Friends now.

RichardMay 2016

Our first Airbnb experience and it went great. Marion was a great host. The house is as described very spacious for the 5 of us. Great location everything we needed was close. Overall great experience.

MonicaJuly 2016

Marion made this the easiest experience ever. Her home was clean and well stocked, everything worked, she and her husband were friendly, helpful and easy to get in touch with and the place is centrally located so we were close to everything. I would definitely stay here again.

Our party of four stayed at Marion and Zach's townhouse for three nights while in Covington and New Orleans for a family reunion. Marion was a pleasure to communicate with and the experience -- including adding on to the reservation at the last minute -- could not have been gone smoother. After a long (10-hour) day of driving, it was a delight to enter the property. It was exactly as pictured: spacious, immaculate, well-appointed and comfortable. We felt right at home. Marion stopped by to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed and that we knew how to reach her if we had any issues. She could not have been more accommodating. The location was perfect, convenient to everything yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. "Lagniappe" is a Southern Louisiana expression that refers to "a little something extra." Coffee, tea, creamer and sugar were provided for our daily use along with a good supply of granola bars. And there were plenty of nice, cushy towels and wash cloths and other We really appreciated those extra touches.

My house is in old downtown Covington, near parks, the river, shopping and food (great food). We're right off Jahncke Avenue by St. Paul's School. I think everyone enjoys it here because of the incredible coziness, super soft bedding and serenity from all the trees. It's my bungalow in the middle of town..

I live with my roommate Jacob and we have a large extra bedroom in the front of the house with a bathroom across the hallway that he uses as well. The place is really cozy and set up well for AirBnb, you enter from the front into the living room with an open kitchen and your bedroom is off the hallway to the right. The bedroom is spacious, there's a little work area, 30" TV, big closet and queen sized bed.
My bedroom is off the kitchen in the back so you rarely see me, but really, we both work so much you probably won't see much of either of us. I'm a chef and so the fridge is always packed with goodies, and I'll make sure you have some good nibbles while you're there.
I have two dogs, Gouda and Stove, they are big ones but they are super cuddly and mostly stay in my back area or in the back yard.
Your bedroom is very private off the hallway in front with access to the bathroom directly across the hallway. You are welcome to cook in the kitchen and watch tv in the living room if you want, but you have your own tv in the bedroom too. The front porch has a comfy little table and chairs and in the rear there is a fire pit in the back yard.
Plenty of off street parking.
We both work everyday except Sunday but we are close by and are happy to help with anything you need. You can just text or call.

The neighborhood is sleepy little downtown Covington. Less than a mile away is the downtown historic district where there are tons of shops, food, bar and lots of other stuff to do. Grocery is a quick drive down Jahncke Avenue and the river is a short jaunt down to 3rd ave. There are some cool parks in the area and we have a bike or two if you need em.

Lindsay is a delightful host, warm and welcoming. The space is bright, airy, and comfortable, and the location is very convenient to old town Covington and its many charms. We had a great experience!

Our "Trainer's Apartment" has been completely renovated and is a comfortable loft less than an hour from downtown New Orleans! It offers a full kitchen with stove, oven and dishwasher. There is a full bath downstairs with half bath upstairs. The loft has a queen bed and 3 twins. Their is a TV setup for watching DVDs and basic cable ... and lots of inspiring books to get lost in. Come here to get away and relax!
You will have your own private apartment/loft attached to the front of our 10 stall barn - your only neighbors being our horses, chickens, and ducks! During your stay please feel free to access our laundry room in the garage, fish in our pond ... help us feed the horses ... Certainly come to relax ... read a good book ... or watch a classic movie.
As much as you require ... it is our goal to make sure you are comfortable without intruding on your privacy. *You will be staying in our barn and therefore will hear us as we care for our horses, chickens, and other farm animals daily ... around 7-8AM ... feel free to give us a hand!!!

Our estate is on the most northern edge of Covington, LA surrounded by family homesteads, farms, and ponds. Please ask about a visit to Gnomewood Farms ... it's across the street - and they are the original Alpaca farm in the state with lots of beautiful animals and crafts! Within a few minutes are vineyards and breweries - and GREAT New Orleans style food!
You will need a vehicle if you are staying here ...
Our farm is located 1/4 mile from the scenic Bogue Chitto River. Only an hour from the New Orleans airport and the famous French Quarter, we are convenient to the interstates. We can accommodate you, your pets, and your children whether you're looking for a place to spend the night, a weekend, a week, or a month ...

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in The Trainer's Apartment for his birthday. It was our first airbnb experience and we could not have been more happy with the outcome. Kristy & Nick were extremely welcoming, accommodating and truthful. They even gave us a 6 pack of Abita beer to celebrate the birthday!! The pictures of the listing are spot on, the horses and other animals are extremely friendly and Kristy & Nick's 6 year old son, Noah, is the most adorable thing you will ever see! I would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful apartment. You will not be disappointed.

Staying at the cute trainers apartment was a great experience. If you want to get away from the city and relax at the horse farm in Covington. The pictures are exactly what you get. We didn't meet Kristy and Nick, they were out of town. Papi showed us around and gave us a tour of the property. We also saw Papi in the mornings when he was taking care of the chickens and geese. It's a quiet and tranquil place, I'd stay here again.

BryanSeptember 2016

Kristy and Nick made us feel very welcomed.We stayed 2 days and it was amazing very peaceful and beautiful you get to enjoy looking at the horses hearing the roosters in the morning and much more .The loft is exactly as described it very cozy very clean everything you would need for a perfect getaway. We would definitely stay there again.

LizMarch 2015

Our stay was an experience we'll never forget. Though I'm from the country, this was my first time staying on a farm. Ultra quiet at night and disconnected, rooster crowed in the morning, chickens walking about, horses in the barn! Such beautiful greenery and lakes. We slept well in a comfortable bed and enjoyed being a short distance from town yet having easy access to Starbucks, movie theater, freeway access. Pictures accurately show how adorable the apartment is, everything we needed we had and more like coffee! We were away most of the day, and didn't get to meet Nick & Kristy, but our texts and calls were answered immediately. I also made it clear we were cool on our own, and they respected our wishes. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.

CarmenOctober 2016

We loved staying there will all the animals - horses, chickens, etc! The apartment was really cute and on a gorgeous farm. Owners were good to work with!

MeganSeptember 2016

The photos and description didn't do the space justice - absolutely charming with the country location and sweet animals: chickens, ducks, horses, etc. My kids loved waking to the rooster crowing and they always looks out for the ducks and the kitten. Host provided amenities for quick & simple breakfasts: toaster oven and (all imp) coffee maker to us all to a great start. Rustic, but with the modern conveniences where they count (ie, bathroom)

KishiAugust 2016

Kristy and her family were exceptional hosts. We loved swimming in the pool, riding horses, visiting the alpaca farm across the street, and blueberry picking down the road at blue harvest. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and teas and coffee, as well flatware, dishes and pots and pans. Plenty of towels and extra sheets and pillow cases. Kristy gave us so many great suggestions for things to do and was so warm and welcoming. Nick was out of town so we didn't get to meet him but we plan to return and hope to meet him next time!

annieJune 2016

Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We enjoyed feeding the horses and Valcom now wants a bunny. We also enjoyed visiting Gnomewood Farms across the road. My son already wants to go back to the "farm house"! Thank Noah for Valcom please. Thank you for being so friendly and Mr. Bruce for the accidental use of his yard! I would recommend your place!
